Raymond Dearie, the semi-retired federal judge in charge of reviewing documents seized from former President Donald Trump's estate, wants a judge to help him get $500 an hour.

There are more restrictions for senior judges like Dearie than for federal judges.

James Orenstein, who holds top secret clearances, was proposed by Dearie to assist him in the review.

Trump was put on a leash to pay the special master bills. The full cost of the review was ordered by a federal judge.

The former president was given seven days to dispute any charges. He gave Trump another seven days to pay the invoice.

Failure to make timely payment will be considered a violation of the special master's order.

According to EXPLAINER, what it means is that Trump will get a special master.
